Dealing with Weariness – part 2...
So far we have looked at a number of scriptures that talk about weariness. We have looked at how weariness can affect us and how it "grows" and develops. In my last post, we also started to look at how we deal with weariness. If you remember, there were four principles that we took from Scripture. The first one,...

Dealing with Weariness – part 1...
How do you prevent yourself from becoming weary? Whilst I appreciate that each circumstance is different and there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, there are some principles in Scripture that we can apply that we definitely help us, we will look at these in turn:
Wait on the Lord (we look at this in this post)
Consider Him

Growing weary...

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Gal 6:9

“Live Like A Free Man!”...
These are words echoing around my mind at the moment – “Live like a free man”.
I can’t help but think about the movie Braveheart where Mel Gibson/William Wallace cries “Freedom!” and he tells his troops “free men you are” is his Scottish accent.
The American Declaration...

Are all things really possible?...
It's been an interesting week for me - one in which my thinking has been seriously challenged.
One of the team in the office commented that "most things were possible" - and in my usual fashion, I stated that "all things were possible" - not just most things. And for those of you who know your Bible, you will understand where my thinking comes from:
Mark 9:23
Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who...

60 Seconds on Giving...
I have been asked to give a 60 second exhortation tomorrow at Church for the offering. What do you say in 60 seconds on the subject of giving when you have experienced so much of God’s faithfulness in this area? How do you distill this to 60 seconds?
I have thought about this 60 seconds a lot today.
If I were to sum it up – it would be this: God’s Economy Works. The UK economy is in recession. It is official. Not since the 80s has it been this...

The Peace of God is your Guard...
In my last post, I asked, "Does the Peace of God Work?" I ended by saying that for me - at that point in time, yes it did. It worked, not as I expected or suggested - but it worked for me.
Too be honest - it still is.
Life hasn't changed. Infact the situations seem to have got harder in some respects. But the peace of God kept working for me, even though things were deteriorating.

Does the peace of God work today?...
Tonight, at the moment I write this, is a large decision that needs to be made. And, naturally speaking, the outcomes just aren't pleasant. So - my mind wanders.
I need a miracle God. I need your favour to get involved and change things! Help!
These are my initial thoughts about the situation. I have made one big assumption though and that is that I know what the outcome should be. It is usually the outcome that involves the least amount of...
